President #Trump's #JusticeDepartment just became the first since the Carter administration to fight a #merger between 2 companies in different lines of business. Because those so-called #verticalmergers typically don't reduce competition, U.S. regulators very rarely try to stop them. The government's effort to block AT&T's proposed acquisition of Time Warner would be a stunning move for an administration of either party. It signals a stark change in how #antitrust law is enforced in the #UnitedStates. But it's particularly surprising for a Republican president who campaigned on a pro-business, anti-regulation platform.

The Trump administration is reviewing or set to review several high-profile mergers over the next few months. Sinclair is trying to buy Tribune. 21st Century Fox is reportedly looking for a buyer, and United Technologies is trying to acquire Rockwell Collins. #CorporateAmerica will be watching the outcome of each of those deals closely as other companies consider their own merger plans.

Plotnitsky's escape leads to speculation about "LPR"-"DPR" merger – NGO

The escape of self-proclaimed leader of the terrorist group "Luhansk People's Republic" ("LPR") Igor Plotnitsky to the Russian Federation as a result of a feud with former "Interior Minister" Igor Kornet has caused panic among the leadership of the "administrative bodies" of this pseudo-formation, according to Information Resistance, a Ukrainian non-governmental project on information security.

"The information is spread among representatives of the 'administration of the leader of the LPR' and the 'ministries' about a possible merger of the 'LPR' and the 'DPR' into one quasi-state with an administrative center in [Russian-occupied] Donetsk," head of Information Resistance Group, military analyst and Member of Parliament Dmytro Tymchuk wrote on Facebook.
At the same time, according to the Information Resistance Group, the officials of the "LPR" are afraid that the "DPR" grasp of the leadership may trigger purges of the leaders of the "LPR" structures, accusing them of assisting to the special services of Ukraine in order to remove Plotnitsky's allies from the leadership.
Some "LPR officials" announce plans to leave the "LPR" (both to Russia and to the unoccupied territory of Ukraine) and do not rule out an "armed confrontation" between the "DPR" and the "LPR" security forces loyal to Plotnitsky, Tymchuk added.
In addition, there is speculation that a decision to merge the "LPR" and the "DPR" can be made because Zakharchenko has recently constantly informed his Russian supervisors about Plotnitsky's inability to effectively manage the "LPR."
